Kapunda Race 4 - Sms Bitumen Vale Bill Adams Pace (Sky 2)
ALORA (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a neck from the winner in third over 2050m at Port Pirie. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but a trip to the winners' circle is not out of the question. BIG BLACK BETTY (4) finished fourth at Globe Derby Park two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 12 metres. Meets a comparable field and she can make amends. LE SPARTACUS (5) is the next best after finishing third over 2230m at Globe Derby Park last time out. MY ULTIMATE HARRY (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at Port Pirie over 2050m.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Gawler over 2070m, 4 days ago and two back 6th (Fr1) over 1800m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park, beaten 50 m by Betterzippit (2:11.40) in No NR on February 16 at $21. Must improve sharply.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind My Ultimate Harry at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR 55 to 62 on February 21 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Kathys Free at Port Pirie over 2050m in a NR up to 69 on March 2 at $5. Drawn nicely and looks set to feature.
